Derek Deedman

Nearly two years after Derek Deedman first raised the concerns of local people about the very rough state of this Twitten (which provides a safe pedestrian link from the Maudlyn area of Bramber to/from Steyning), the Clerk to Bramber Parish Council has placed the order for the work to be carried out.

Although a small scheme, agreement to the work was delayed by the need to overcome the lack of ownership of the land involved, the lack of funding and the need to resolve who would be responsible for arranging the work to be carried out.

After much investigative work by Bramber Parish Council, an agreement with the Chanctonbury County Local Committee on the use of planning development contributions to fund the work and an agreement between the County Council and the owner of part of the land involved, the Parish Council arranged for the work to be carried out.

Bramber residents, especially young parents with push chairs and those with physical disabilities will benefit mostly from the improved safety, but the Twitten also provides a much safer route to Steyning for all walkers, avoiding the dangerous Maudlin Lane/Clays Hill junction. 

Many thanks go to all those involved in bringing about this successful conclusion, with hopefully the work being carried out in the near future.
